Thousands of carats-worth of vintage jewellery were on display at this year’s
Oscars, with Jessica Chastain praised as bang on trend, wearing late Sixties
diamond bracelets and earrings by Harry Winston. Quality pieces don’t only
look beautiful. Experts say that prices have increased through the downturn
and in some cases rocketed. But it is a fashion-led market that can be
fickle, and there are fakes about and other pieces that are not what they
seem.
